My double-sided layout starts each chapter on a right page with a quote on the opposing left page. I’d like to move the page number of that right page to the footer, but haven’t been able to find how to do this is the documentation. How can I do this?
\definetext
  [chapterfooter] % name
  [footer]        % vertical location
  [pagenumber]    % content
\setuphead
  [chapter]
  [header=empty,
   footer=chapterfooter]
\starttext
\dorecurse{4}
  {\expanded{\chapter{Chapter \recurselevel}}
   \dorecurse{10}{\samplefile{lorem}}}
\stoptext

Yes, this works in a simple setup. But it doesn’t work in mine with my LHS-quote/RHS-chapterstart setup using before and after on setup head.
Try this:
\setuplayout[location=doublesided]
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]
\definetext
  [chapterfooter] % name
  [footer]        % vertical location
  [pagenumber]    % content
\setuphead[chapter]
  [page=,
   header=empty,
   footer=chpaterfooter,
   sectionsegments=chapter,
   before={\setups[chapter:before]},
   after={\setups[chapter:after]}]
\startsetups chapter:before
    \page[left]
    \noheaderandfooterlines
    \startalignment[left,nothyphenated]
    \startnarrower[4*left]
        \em \getbuffer[chapter:quote]
    \stopnarrower
    \stopalignment
    \resetsetups[quote:text]
    \page[right]
    \blank[force,2*big]
\stopsetups
Change chapter:before to be as follows (changes marked with %%)

\startsetups chapter:before
    \page[left]
    %noheaderandfooterlines %%
    \setupheader[state=empty] %%
    \setupfootertexts [] [pagenumber] [pagenumber] [] %%
    \startalignment[left,nothyphenated]
    \startnarrower[4*left]
        \em \getbuffer[chapter:quote]
    \stopnarrower
    \stopalignment
    \resetsetups[quote:text]
    \page[right]
    \blank[force,2*big]   
    \setupfootertexts [] [] [] []  %%
\stopsetups

Is that what you were after?
...
\startsetups chapter:after
    \blank[3*big]
\stopsetups
\definelist[chaptertext]
\setuplist[chaptertext][margin=1.3em,pagecommand=\gobbleoneargument]
\define[1]\ChapterAbstract{\writetolist[chaptertext]{}{\start\itx#1\stop}}
\starttext
\startbuffer [chapter:quote]
